A claustrophobic survival thriller that traps a grieving couple on an isolated island with an existential threat, blending intimate relationship drama with escalating paranoia and dread.

Kate and Martin escape from personal tragedy to an Island Retreat. Cut off from the outside world, their attempts to recover are shattered when a man is washed ashore, with news of airborne killer disease that is sweeping through Europe.
